how, though, will these results be viewed by angela merkel?ely relieved because angela merkel is on her way out. she promised, announced, she would leave before the next election, due to be held in two years' time, so she's probably... she has got another year left in power, and for this time, she is more worried about legacy than anything else. how is she going to protect that legacy, do you think, to make sure that the last few months of her tenure are not overshadowed by things like that? one aspect is, of course, brexit. we are moving on from eastern germany to european affairs. brexit is an issue. could cause the german economy 100,000 jobs by the german government's own estimation, and she will try and persuade borisjohnson to agree to whatever idea she can agree from their own site. we will wait and see, because this week is going to be very important. i'm sure it will be closely watched in germany. john from die zeld newspaper, think you very much. you're watching bbc news. the headlines this evening. the most powerful storm ever to re

let's stay in asia because germany's chancellor angela merkel is in china for a two day visit. talks with china's head of state premier li keqiang — and trade is high on the agenda. the visit‘s hugely important for germany — china has been its biggest trading partner for the last few years and a vital market for its car makers and other manufacturers trade between the two hit more than $225 billion last year — but german firms have been caught in the crossfire of president trump's trade war against china. rico hizon is following the story for us. good to see you! how significant is this visit and couldn't be derailed by the hong kong protest? very significant for the german chancellor because there is a lot at sta ke for chancellor because there is a lot at stake for germany on this trip. the us- stake for germany on this trip. the us— china trade while drags on and it is starting to impact the european economy. in herfirst remarks upon arrival in beijing, the german chancellor said that trade problems of both countries affect the whole world and angela merkel hopes they would

angela merkel will be saying what can we do. every crevice under every rock in the economic world at the moment and you feel this us versus china tension everywhere. how much influence angela merkel can bring to bring a resolution to that, i think it's questionable. and we still have this pressure from president trump and the head of the federal reserve to cut rates. will he do what the president wants him to do? he has to be seen to be his own man. he is, come on! if he ends up own man. he is, come on! if he ends up cutting eight, we have seen talk from some of the other tripadvisor governors saying they are getting used to the cut, the closer you get to zero, people get a bit anxious. central banks can always do something, the fact is you have an inverted yield curve, i will probably be shot for using that expression, governments find it easy to borrow a long way into the future which means people are very risk averse. it is quite an effective predictor of recession, it may well be the economic facts will change and jay powell
